Going crew cab short bed so it will fit the garage. Anyone know of a 2016 or 2017 leftover Race red, 302 A, chrome package near Indy?

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR CONCERN. HERE ARE PICTURES OF MY "MODIFICATIONS" FROM 50MPH INTO A BILLBOARD
Thankful you're okay. I can't imagine the deceleration force if that impact - ouch!

Default Landscaping

We went to Lowe's with my lovely wife and purchased and hauled 60 bags of mulch (2 trips with an open bed) for some landscapers who are working on our yard. Today was the first day in months when we could drive with open windows! Then we ran some local errands.

After that, we worked on repairing a LifeActiv suction cup cell phone mount. We love the cross-platform design, but the suction was no good (a design fault, we think). Because of the design fault, we declined a warranty repair. We figured out how to disassemble it and add a shim, so now the suction cup pulls tight against the dash panel to the right of the radio. A perfect spot.

Then we decided to take a Saturday evening break!

I tested the mud flaps. A little muddy at the shooting range today.

Cold Start Vid as I added Full Race SS cat-back and a few picks from a drive up a local mountain. I was getting really tired of the rain...

Used the truck to hold up the travel trailer while I traded out the electric tongue jack. Replaced the, less than a year old) OEM FIC 3500-2 (Off brand Chinese tongue jack) for a Barker Deluxe High Power 3500 jack.

Not THAT looks like fun. Once in a great while, I miss living up north. I usually get over it though...
